Heat: The Space Age of Pro Wrestling

Real Canadian Wrestling: Slammer vs. Big Jess Youngblood, Jailhouse Rules

Jeff — Thu, 17 May 2012 03:38:01 +0000

I forgot to update the comic on Saturday because I was at Real Canadian Wrestling’s 9th Anniversary Show. To make up for it, here’s the nearly forty minute bloodbath of a Jailhouse rules match between Slammer and Big Jess Youngblood shot by a fan. My full review of the show will be up soon-ish.

RCW Presents The Marie Ewaschuk Memorial Show 2012

Jeff — Fri, 11 May 2012 02:01:16 +0000

RCW Presents The Marie Ewaschuk Memorial Show April 21st, 2012 Glengarry Community Hall Real Canadian Wrestling’s April offering is a tribute to the late Marie Ewaschuk, one of the founders of the promotion. The ring announcer whose name I don’t know (sorry, ring announcer) read a pre-written tribute speech, which was a nice way to [...]

HEAT #200 – Swerve! Tag! Clothesline! Sound Effects!

Jeff — Sun, 06 May 2012 05:06:00 +0000

I forgot that the page going up today was number 200, because apparently I don’t understand how “counting” works. I’ve been doing sketches for people who donated to the Food Bank all day as part of Happy Harbor Comics’ Free Comic Book Day celebration, which reminds me I’ve had a HEAT-related drawing from last year’s [...]

HEAT #199 – Learnin’ Jerks To Stay Down

Jeff — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 09:33:51 +0000

So this one’s a few hours late, because apparently going out on a Saturday night and remembering to update the comic before I leave isn’t a thing my brain comprehends. I really don’t have much to say about this page, other than that drawing it reminded me that I’ve managed to go over 200 pages [...]

HEAT #198 – Boogie Nightstick

Jeff — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 04:29:35 +0000

This page has been done for a few weeks, but I wasn’t home yesterday and forgot to post it early. Go me. I did check out last night’s Real Canadian Wrestling show, though, so look for the show review for that one at some point next week. Preview: it was better than last time. I [...]

TNA Lockdown 2012 or A Reminder Why I Stopped Watching This Show

Jeff — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 06:09:46 +0000

On Sunday, April 15th, 2012, TNA/Impact/Indecisive Branding Wrestling held it’s annual Lockdown pay-per-view, which I watched entirely because a friend of mine invited me over for a party to watch it. To be honest, I wasn’t even aware that TNA had a PPV until the day before when I was asked if I wanted to [...]

HEAT #197 – False Finish Ahoy!

Jeff — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 04:36:07 +0000

So last week I talked about how easy reference makes drawing some moves, but how some moves are really tough to find decent reference for. The Bossman Slam, it turns out, is a pain in the ass to find reference for, and is also hard to draw because it’s such a weird motion. Most spin [...]

RCW Goldrush 2012 Show Review

Jeff — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 21:11:23 +0000

RCW Goldrush March 10th, 2012 Glengarry Community Hall This show review is going to be a little different, because this show was a little different. It was great fun in the same way that watching Botchamania is great fun: it was so bad it was hilarious. One thing to note off the top, because it [...]

HEAT #196 – The Gas is Always Burrito Related

Jeff — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 03:33:55 +0000

This page is brought to you in part by British Bulldog powerslam videos on YouTube, which I used several of to get the necessary references for the Johnny Law powerslam on Dos. This page is also my favourite one since the Fatty Bomb… which actually wasn’t that long ago, although it feels like months and [...]

HEAT #195 – Dead Mascots Society

Jeff — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 04:39:31 +0000

At no point in working on HEAT, until about five seconds ago, did I ever think I would have a Dead Poets Society joke in the comic in any context. Mostly because I typically forget that movie exists until it gets brought up in classes. I use a lot of photo reference to help me [...]
